Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 5038359, member: 2524"] That shows it's a competitive deal if football is 85% of value and all other sports combined 15% of value. [The conference contract is for all sports, so the "CBB Cut" heading is misleading: the table ascribes 100% of the value of the BE contract to "CBB Cut". The table is only consistent between the BE and other conferences if the "CBB Cut" column is the value of everything other than football.] But if you think 6 football games per year is worth less than 85% of major conference media value, then the BE got a poor deal. And since the major conference revenue comes in significant part from dedicated cable networks that need round the clock content, I don't see how you can argue that 18 hours of football content per school delivers 85% of the value of a network that airs 8760 hours per year.
